2027 Rankings Update: New Additions Pt. II - Prep Redzone (2024)

Thomas is a developing two-way player (WR/DB) that’s shown potential for a breakout sophom*ore season with the strong offseason he’s put together. He’s a lankier athlete with promising length to his 6’/155 frame. He shows impressive speed, footwork, and ball skills as a cover-corner and has shown flashes of creative route-running and strong hands through tight coverage from his WR spot. Look for Thomas to move his name up the 2027 radar with productive sophom*ore season for Centennial in the fall.

Burks is a new addition to Nevada’s 2027 watchlist that should find himself in the official rankings in the near future with the natural talent and potential he offers. He’s a gifted athlete 6’2″/170 at with the speed, length, and fluidity to develop into one of the top cover-corners in Vegas by the time his senior year rolls around. He uses his length effectively to be disruptive at the catch-point and possesses a skillset that should translate to on-field production as his playing time increases. Burks is a high-upside DB to keep on the 2027 radar.

Coleman’s an athletic wideout that should offer some playmaking value for Mojave’s offense in his upcoming sophom*ore season. He’s a savvy, quick-footed route-runner that can create separation on the front-end with creative releases and effective change of speeds. He tracks the ball well as a pass catcher and can fight through contact in tight 1v1 coverage. Look for Coleman to carve out a role on a Mojave offense that returns several top producers from last season’s WR group.

Pereira was a new addition to Nevada’s 2027 watchlist after finishing among the most productive passers in his class last season. The 6’/165 QB totaled over 1,700 TDs and 13 TDs as a freshman for Meadows. He’s still developing mechanically but shows promising traits in his natural velocity on the ball and ability to move the pocket. Pereira’s a player to watch for continued growth and development from in his upcoming sophom*ore season.
